European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - October 11, 1964, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 4 the stars and stripes sunday october 11, 1964 Parley of nonaligned nations was loser for All concerned data after october by Wilbur g. Landry Dpi manager for Africa the conference of the non aligned countries is Over and even while ii met in curio lust week it was almost Over shadowed by the Man the Uther leaders would t allow to Uttend prime minister mols Tshombe of the Congo. Tshombe s virtual imprison ment by president Iii Mil All Del Nasser s Host Hud no modern precedent. Not since the medi Eval Days when the Duke of Austria held Richard the lion hurl of England for in Nam on ills Way Home from the crusades Hus one stale held the Leader of got the headlines with his sensational attempt Tenter the Nonal lined club but in the end the attempt appeared to be a fiasco for Al most everyone concerned in eluding himself. Some of the discredit May even have rubbed off on die United Stales if reports fro Cairo Are True that cer Nln african Leader always suspicious of a plot saw an Ameri can hand behind the attempt of Tshombe to attend. In fact the United states misreported to have tried to Dis courage Tshombe. His ill Fate attempt will certainly make harder the efforts of the unite states to encourage stability in the happened in Cairo will also make More difficult the efforts of the african states themselves through the organization of african Unity Oak to help Settle the Long festering Crl Sii of the Congo. It can Only have 44-year-old Tshombe and his followers and perhaps Many other congolese As Well against the african Leader who denied him the right to at tend and supported his detention. It can Only have strained this summer at the special Oak meeting on the Congo in Addis Ababa the Oak fails in the Congo it will be failure of Tshombe s i him no Good either. It can Only have damaged his prestige even More. Tshombe has sur Vived detention before but it is hard to see How this one helped him. As for Nasser the incident can hardly have enhanced his image too. To set such a mod Ern precedent of detaining the Leader of another state in contravention of All diplomatic practice and convention can hardly be excused by the fact. That the congolese were sur rounding the egyptian and Al Gerian embassies in Leopold Volle. Who gained then from the fiasco in alienating Tshombe even further from other Blac africans. Ii May Well drive him to depend More and Moreon the reluctant americans. That in turn could encourage the enmity of the other africans for the United slate Sand drive them to depend More for support on the Russia Sand chinese.
